- Herb Kenny, Bass singer of The Ink Spots, sits down with Dwight Burrill in an interview about his time with The Ink Spots on Howard Perspectives. 1992
Any group that did not feature Bill Kenny was NOT the Ink Spots.
Sneakypreacher Amen! You’re 100% correct!
The same comment applies double for Bill Kenny. What a voice.
@@rrrogster Very true as well! Bless this amazing group and all of its members. What wonderful memories they all bring us.
A lot of people got turned on to the Ink Spots because of the Fallout games. That's not a bad thing though. As long as this music stays alive and people can keep appreciating it.
I first learned about them from the music at the start of a new season of Better Call Saul. I found them on spotify and instantly was enamoured, to bad so little is documented about them. Although there probably is a warehouse or basement the has a bunch of footage and records about them and I hope I'll be alive by the time all that is found and someone will make a documentary.
Fallout (the original 1997 computer game) turned me onto not only The Ink Spots (the song "Maybe" was used in the game's intro) but to 1940s American music in general. It's practically all I have listened to ever since. The Fallout series has continued to introduce people to music from the period. I think the juxtaposition of the music's optimism and the game's bleak setting are what make the combination so poignant. I've been hooked ever since!
Original Fallout 1997. Installed the game on a PC at work and would play it on Saturdays when I was alone. Fallout was also the reason I truly discovered and appreciated Louis Armstrong. Years later, my wife (without my input) chose “Give me a kiss to build a dream on” as her bridal walk song. What a great song!
i know about this band for fallout when i was 8 years old and i still hearin
sorry my english
Bioshock for me. Tried playing hte first 4 Fallout games but got bored every time and never made it far enough for any music to make an impression.
I could be having the worst day and hearing the inkspots can still make me smile.
I’m older age 80 next birthday and was born when these groups formed and played. Believe you me…it was a different era then with no one throwing rose pedals in their path
They were great so classy. I have listened to them 65 years true art never to be duplicated.
God bless them! My son who's only 16 loves this beautiful singers and their music.
Jarred Wardrup I got into them playing LA Noire

Annoying Dog That was actually his brother Bill that passed away in 1978. Herb left in 1992 of cancer.
Austin Casey Ah, I see sorry for the wrong info. I think I had a brain fart lmao good video also
I wish my people would embrace our past music more. However, I am managing a group of young men who create music like this.
That’s awesome dude.
my mother, my brother and myself sounds like a great name for an ink spots song
I drink my coffee in the morning while listening to them sing Java Jive
Sounded like a great song title at the end.
For some reason, I thought I'd seen this video before... perhaps due to seeing a bit of it in another video. So, oops, I'm spectacularly late to the party here, but alas. Hearing Herb talk about the Ink Spots is such a fascinating thing, made all the more engaging thanks to his absolutely fantastic speaking voice. He and Bill both wonderful speaking voices, now that I think about it, and spoke very clearly, and with little issue knowing what next to say. Makes listening to them really hook you in.
I can't help but ask, of course... what happened to the rest of the interview? He was in the middle of a story, even! Bah.
Yes, why was it curtailed?
This guest is as articulate as they come. I’m trained as a lawyer and half of them do not articulate as well
Fabulous interview with a polished speaker articulate and a gentleman
Herb actually replaced Cliff Givens, who originally came in following the death of original bass, Hoppy Jones. Nepotism came into play When Bill Kenny insisted that his brother Herb come in to fill the late-Jones' spot.
Nepotism or not, it worked well, and Bill knew it would. Herb was a talented singer in his own right and had an excellent speaking voice and feeling for rhythm and pacing that fit the 'talking bass' part very well.
Cliff Givens went on to record with many different groups, like the Dominoes, and lot's of studio work, even with Michael Jackson in the 80's!!
That doesn't equate with nepotism, though, in this case. You find a job for your brother if he can also sing and you need a bass singer. Nepotism is equated with evil and politics.
i like the ´music of them
A uniquely wonderful group ! 🙂
Devine!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
he looks alot like his brother RIP INK SPOTS
His older brother towered over him, as he did with them all. Would love to have known both of them but alas, born too late and in a different country. Bother! That's life!!
Are you alright man? Because its been 11 years
I adore the Inckspots!!!!!!!
Saw this after their final album that came out May 15th

Is Jimmy Holmes, Harold Jackson, Leon Antoine, or Isaac Royal still alive?
Jimmy Holmes passed away in 1995. Isaac Royal has been gone for quite awhile (I forget the year). Harold Jackson died just a few years ago... he was in his 100's! Actually, me and several others thought he'd been gone for years so we were shocked to learn that he was still alive. Antoine "Lucky" Leon could still be alive but no one knows. His son contacted me recently... apparently he'd only met his father once or twice. In the 70s or early 80s he was in Hawaii briefly as a member of Stanley Morgan's Ink Spots but that's the most recent update I have on him. I sure wish he was alive and I could meet him. He's become one of my favorites.
thanks
